Life/Live rock far from airport

[kevv]

Hello all. I am very new to reefing as I am starting my first tank here shortly. As see below.

I am located in the Panhandle of West Virginia and not really close to any airports outside of Dulles International Airport and some private airports. I have read a few posts on life/live rock and I am 1. Trying to decide between the two options and 2. Trying to find the best way to get my hands on some since I am pretty far from the nearest airport.

I don’t mind picking it up from Dulles if that is an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated and look forward to the journey!

Also, don’t make fun of the makeshift stand I made

Tampa Bay Saltwater has a "Treasure Chest" option that will ship to your door via UPS. Should work very well with that size tank. Think more "seeding" than having everything live rock could be very effective and save you quite a bit in travel, shipping and purchases.

MarcoRock also has live rock that ships UPS next day.

Tampa Bay or gulf live rock have overnight shipping options on nano sized rock and they're both nice. Definitely an option if the airport is far enough away to offset any savings on shipping.
